Determining if an Automotive Device is Fully Charged

It is recommended to always have the device plugged in when being used. The device will charge while it is plugged in, but the only way to determine if it is fully charged is to have it unplugged and on the main menu as seen below. The battery icon will be displayed in the top right corner of the screen.

If there is no battery icon present, or if the battery icon contains a lightning bolt symbol, that means the device is currently receiving a charge. The background color of the battery is unrelated to the amount to which the battery has been charged. Examples of charging icons are pictured below:

To check the device's expected battery life, visit the product page on the Garmin website and select the Specs tab. For more information about ways to charge your device, see Related Content.
